Druga noc zbawienia. Próba Abrahama i „aqedah” Izaaka
Saraceno, Lorenzo (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2005)
The sacrifice of Isaac, aqedah, which account we can find in the chapter 22nd of the Book of Genesis, is an episode in the history of salvation which is widely addressed by Jewish, as well Christian traditions. An example of its application in the Jewish tradition is a „Poem about four night of salvation”, where aqedah is portrayed as the second night. In Christian tradition, the church fathers interpreting Genesis 22 saw in the sacrifice of Isaac the announcement of the Sacrifice of Christ. The author of the text is undertaking the task of interpreting this challenging part of the Bible by analyzing and understanding the meaning of the words in the context of the structure of the text. After reading Genesis 22, the first conclusion that can be reached treats the relationship between God and Abraham as a relationship of dependency and obedience. This relationship almost adopts characteristics of a paradox, since as the author claims, „It was not Isaac that was supposed to die, but Abraham in himself, as it is not possible to see God and remain alive, it is not possible to pass the life along other than by dying yourself. It is also where the interdependence between Abraham and God is realized”. Second conclusion points into Christological interpretation of the text. God’s choice directed towards the sacrifice of the Son is portrayed as the source of relationship based on mutual dependence, an exchange of the gift of life, which in this case involved our father in faith – Abraham.
Lectio divina w życiu mnicha fundamentem duchowości chrześcijańskiej
Saraceno, Lorenzo; Łaskarzewski, Robert (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2003)
The lectio divina is a kind of prayer through the Bible, which started in the Old Testament. In the Christianity it was practiced by the old desert fathers and by the monks. S. Benedict prescribed it, by his Rule, for every monk at the start of the day. Since then it became a characteristic of the benedictine monastic spirituality and today, it seems to be as well a peculiarity of Christian spirituality. That is why we have the title lectio divina as the ground of Christian spirituality. The article is in two parts: lectio divina from a theoretical point of view, which, by definition is the exercise of personal listening to the Word of God, hence its place in the Church monastic tradition. Then it shows the lectio model according to the scheme: lectio, meditatio, oratio, contemplatio. The second part is the instrument to cure the lectio in the daily life; however it just the first step (reading), as the three further steps are absolutely individual. So the second part is the lectio on the existential point of view. In Marc’s Gospel 2:1–12 the miracle of the man sick of the palsy, does not seem to be Jesus answer to the requested recovery: it’s rather the unexpected effect of a process initially moved by the wish to listen to Jesus preach, regardless of the palsy limits. The point puts a strong accent on the symbolic value of the tale: moving towards, even when it’s had moving, Jesus Word, one makes the experience of the sin remission first, then of the physical recovery, becoming a witness of the „new man”. We can see here a possible way of lectio divina: from one existence to the Word, from the Word to one life.
